The Next Generation Sequencing Market is Projected to Reach $27.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.8% During the Forecast Period, Says Meticulous Research®. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a technology used to sequence the orientation of nucleotides in genetic material. This technology enables the sequencing of DNA or RNA more quickly and at a lower cost than Sanger sequencing. Technological advancements in sequencing procedures, a surge in genome mapping programs, an increase in drug discovery platforms demanding NGS technology, and declining cost of genome sequencing are the key factors driving the global NGS market.
